Our featured pet is -Lily- Lily is a pure bred chihuahua that is a puppymill survior - Lily has never had a home or family to show her love. Lily was treated as a factory to churn out puppies for profit. Lily was never held, shown affection and was treated poorly, living in a small wire cage. To read all about Lily - please click on adoptable pets.
Please remember to spay and neuter all pets- this would decrease the over population problem and save so many animals everyday.
Also please consider shelter and rescue dogs first- dogs in puppy stores and markets usually come from puppymills- until you have seen the conditions that these cute puppies parents have had to live in and and the horrible life these dogs have to endure just to be treated like livestock to produce dogs for profit. Never purchase a dog without seeing the parents and the conditions the dogs are kept in- this not only saves you the anguish of getting a dog that is sick or has congenital deformaties due to in-breeding- but makes the breeders more accountable. If they don't want you to see where the dogs are kept or sell dogs a fairs and markets there is a reason.

Who We Are
Gunner's Run Rescue was established in honor of a very special dog who passed away. All dogs rescued and helped are done for you, Gunner. You will never be forgotten. I love you Lu ( Gram), you have inspired me to try to to make a difference in this world- even if it is a small one.
We are a small group of individuals dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for dogs,giving them love, one-on-one attention, and basic obedience training, full veterinary care , with the ultimate goal of adoption to their forever family. We do not have a shelter all of our dogs are kept in our home and given the one on one attention that they need. We are an all breed rescue- focusing our attention on dogs that are in immediate need of placement from animal control or shelters that have to euthanize due to lack of space.
